201215566Latomus. 2012. Softcover. Fine. Among the stories surrounding the legendary foundation of the city of Rome by the twins Romulus and Remus previous scholarly attention has focused primarily on one scene – the depiction of the she-wolf nursing the twins following their miraculous salvation from the floodwaters of the Tiber. This book examines another event in the cycle the conception of the twins in which the Vestal Virgin Rhea Silvia is visited in her sleep and raped by the god Mars. Some fifty-one examples of the encounter of Mars and Rhea Silvia are analyzed drawn from coins relief sculpture gems wall painting mosaics and pottery covering a time frame from the motif’s origin in the early 1st century B. C. To its disappearance in the late 4th century A. D. An analysis of the scene's iconographical evolution and its documented periods of popularity both in the public and private sphere are associated with contemporary trends in Roman literature religion and art. This monograph on the representation of Mars and Rhea Silvia is not simply a self-contained study of a single motif over a specific time frame. Within the realm of Roman art the book discusses larger issues concerning the relationship between art myth and religion and political propaganda drawing from methodologies of appropriation Kopienkritik word and image semiotics and memory culture. As such the book constitutes a case study whose conclusions may serve as guidelines for the study of Roman art in general.; Collection Latomus Volume 336; 241 pages . 2870312776 . Latomus paperback
200439082University Press of America. 2004. Softcover. Near Fine. 388 pages; In dramatic representations and narrative reports of inner deliberation the Odyssey displays the workings of the human mind and its hero's practical intelligence epitomized by anticipating consequences and controlling his actions accordingly. Once his hope of returning home as husband father and king is renewed on Calypso's isle Odysseus shows a consistent will to focus on this purpose and subordinate other impulses to it. His fabled cleverness is now fully engaged in a gradually emerging plan as he thinks back from that final goal through a network of means to achieve it. He relies on "signs"—inferences in the form "if this then that" as defined by the Stoic Chrysippus—and the nature of his intelligence is thematically underscored through contrast with others' recklessness that is failure to heed signs or reckon consequences. In Homeric deliberation the mind is torn between competing options or intentions not between "reason" and "desire." The lack of distinct opposing faculties and hierarchical organization in the Homeric mind far from archaic simplicity prefigures the psychology of Chrysippus who cites deliberation scenes from the Odyssey against Plato's hierarchical tri-partite model. From the Stoics there follows a psychological tradition leading through Hobbes and Leibniz to Peirce and Dewey. These thinkers are drawn upon to show the significance of the conception of "thinking" first articulated in the Odyssey. Homer's work inaugurates an approach that has provoked philosophical conflict persisting into the present and opposition to pragmatism and Pragmatism can be discerned in prominent critiques of Homer and his hero which are analyzed and countered in this study. . 076183026X .

198737250Croom Helm. 1987. Hardcover. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. Light Bmp to head of spine. Scholar's name to ffep D. Gerber. Else Minor shelfwear. DJ has minor shelfwear.; Interpretations of Greek Mythology first published in1987 builds on the innovative work of Walter Burkert and the ‘Paris school’ of Jean-Pierre Vernant and represents a renewal of interpretation of Greek mythology. The contributors to this volume present a variety of approaches to the Greek myths all of which eschew a monolithic or exclusively structuralist hermeneutic method. Specifically the notion that mythology can simply be read as a primitive mode of narrative history is rejected with emphasis instead being placed on the relationships between mythology and history ritual and political genealogy. The essays concentrate on some of the best known characters and themes – Oedipus Orpheus Narcissus – reflecting the complexity and fascination of the Greek imagination. The volume will long remain an indispensable tool for the study of Greek mythology and it is of great interest to anyone interested in the development of Greek culture and civilisation and the nature of myth.; 294 pages; The volume's fundamental concern is with how the Greeks conceptualized the experience of poetry and debated the values of that experience. The book's organizing theme is a recurrent Greek dialectic between ideas of poetry as on the one hand a powerfully enthralling experience in its own right a kind of 'ecstasy' and on the other a medium for the expression of truths which can exercise lasting influence on its audiences' views of the world. Citing a wide range of modern scholarship and making frequent connections with later periods of literary theory and aesthetics Halliwell questions many orthodoxies and received opinions about the texts analysed. The resulting perspective casts new light on ways in which the Greeks attempted to make sense of the psychology of poetic experience - including the roles of emotion ethics imagination and knowledge - in the life of their culture . 0709932707 .
